To all whom it may concern:

thereon. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the watch with. the guard shown in section. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the guard. Fig. i is a plan view thereof.

The guard comprises an elastic member of soft rubber having a central perforation adapted to fit over the stem vof a watch. Said member is formed as a disk having a central projecting hub 1 provided with a bore or central opening 2, a peripheral enlarged portion or rim 3 and a relatively thin web portion l connecting said hub and rim, said hub l'projecting on both sides of the web flush with the enlarged rim portion 4 five cents each, by addressing the to provide spacin collars and said web portion 4 being su ciently thin to give considerable elasticity and the rim portion 3 giving a relatively stifi periphery for engagement with the sides of the pocket.

The guard is attached to the watch by slipping it over the ring 7 and stem 8 of the watch, the hub l expanding or stretching in this operation and then contracting to bind or grip the stem 8 firmly, said hub portion engaging between the body 5 of the watch and the collar 6 which supports the ring 7 of the watch.

What we claim is: v

A watch guard comprising an elastic disk of soft rubber formed with an enlarged rim, a hub having a stem opening and projecting on both sides of the disk so as to provide inner and outer spacing collars adapted to Commissioner of Patents,
